“We went for our first time on Wednesday, and had an awesome experience! I don't remember her name, but we were served by your amazing bartender. She went above and beyond, recommending food, drinks, and obviously enjoyed her job. The food was very good, but she made our date night special, and we'll be back to sit at her bar next time 💚“

“9 of us came for dinner tonight 12.22.25 and had the best service and the food was outstanding!!! our favorite BBQ! I wish I would had gotten our servers name. She was wonderful ❤️ Merry Christmas 🎅“

“Food was yummy! Didn't leave a morsel! Service gal was very caring and prompt. What a pleasant experience on a chilly blustery day!“

“Great food! The chicken (in any form) is delicious! The burgers are also very good. Haven’t tried all of the sides but so far all food has been fantastic. You really can’t go wrong here. And now lobster rolls even!!!“

“Walked in and immediately smelled smoke, not the good kind. It smelled like an ashtray. We ordered fried green tomatoes and they were pretty decent. Then came the 3 meat platter, We had the chicken, pork and brisket. All the meats were pretty dry and had 0 smoke flavor. It reminded me of that store stuff you microwave. Pork was mid. The brisket was off tasting, more like pot roast. The chicken was the worst, no flavor at all and very dry. The baked beans and mashed potatoes were good. Don't know if it was a bad night or what but probly won't be back.“

“I love the fresh food at Lou's, and also I love how quickly they got my meal to me. They make their own root beer, and it's delicious!“

“No seating. Attempted to give my order to the wait staff, (who I will note wore impeccable whitetail deer outfits, had me fooled at first), but they ran off and we never saw them again.Naming is a little off, no coconuts in central IL. Like to support the local business so I’ll give them a 5 this time.“
